If this is the man, then everyone who received and watched one of his copied movies should be arrested and thrown in jail, too...then maybe someone would see how utterly ridiculous this is...

Yes, copyright piracy is indeed ridiculous. The industry should have kept up with the times and been ahead of this whole digital thing. Now they are doomed to history.

But back to the story. If HLS shows up on your doorstep, you cooperate. You obviously already messed up big time to bring em to your door. May as well enjoy the ride and wait for them to leave (or for you to be released) then go get help.
